For the first time since 1998, the San Diego Padres are playing in the NLCS, and the team’s longest-tenured player made sure to take advantage of an opportunity to celebrate.
After the underdog Padres took down the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of an NLDS, Wil Myers and his wife went out on the town and stopped by a bar.
Myers was in such a celebratory mood he decided to foot the bill for around 100 fans at the Social Tap near the Padres’ home stadium, Petco Park.
